PIERRE MIGNARD 
French Painter, 1610-1695 


THE DUCHESSE DE BOURGOGNE. 


_ The subject is seen at half length, wearing a court robe open at the 
neck with a frill of lace about the corsage; a blue mantle, figured with the 
fleur-de-lys and bordered with ermine, falls from her shoulders, and a 
_ jeweled chain crosses the front of her dress from her shoulder to her waist, 
| with a shorter one encircling her arm. A mass of curls cluster about her 
head, and one falls to her neck. 

The subject, whose full name was Marie Anne Christian Victoire, was 
i‘ ea Bavarian, and became the wife of the Dauphin, the Duc de Bourgogne 
_ of France. Mignard, who was one of the most popular painters of his 
_ time, was renowned for his portraits of court beauties.

UNKNOWN PAINTER 
French School, Eighteenth Century 


A LADY OF THE COURT OF LOUIS XVI. 


Seen in full face; the lady wears a white silk dress, cut low in the neck, 
edged with white lace and set with a pearl brooch; falling from her shoulders 
is a blue velvet mantle, lined with pink silk, and in her hair is a cluster of 
flowers. 

Canvas. Height, 27 inches; width, 20 inches. 

Bought of Duveen Bros. 
603 
LOUIS TOCQUET 
French Painter, 1696-1772 
PORTRAIT OF A LADY. 


In a flowered gown, open in front to show a white underdress, the lady 
sits toying with her fan. A black lace cape is drawn about her shoulders 
and held by a bow of black ribbon in front, and on her head is a small bonnet 
whose lace edge shows above her powdered hair. 

Tocquet, who was a son-in-law of Nattier and a pupil of Hyacinthe 
Rigaud, devoted himself wholly to portraits. After winning success in 
France, he was called to St. Petersburg, where he remained several years, 
painting members of the court. 

Canvas. Height, 321% inches; width, 25 inches. 

From the Collection of Madame Loisif of Tours. 


604 
HYACINTHE RIGAUD 
French Painter, 1659-1743 
PORTRAIT OF PIERRE DE BERULLE. 


The subject shows a brown-eyed man in long curled wig, who gazes 
directly at the observer; about his shoulders is gathered a red mantle in 
voluminous folds, which fall away at the neck to show his lace shirt-front. 

Rigaud, who professed to be a follower of Van Dyck, was an able and 
industrious portrait painter, who, although he produced from thirty to 
forty portraits a year, would have no assistants, but painted all the acces- 
sories himself during the sixty-two years of his career. During that time 
he painted five kings and all the French princes, as well as most of the dis- 
tinguished men of his time. 

Canvas. Height, 33 inches; width, 251% inches. 

Formerly in the Collection of M. Feral, an eminent French expert.

SIR THOMAS LAWRENCE 
English Painter, 1769-1830 


PORTRAIT OF MASTER PETERS. 


The brown eyes of the fresh-faced English lad look directly at the 


spectator, his cheeks aglow with health; a white collar shows above his 
dark coat, with a voluminous ribbon bow in front; his brown hair falls 
carelessly over his forehead. Lawrence loved to paint children and was 
successful in catching the questioning wonder and innocence of their 
young lives, as this canvas ably testifies. 

Canvas. Round diameter, 18% inches. 

Bought from Martin Colnaghi, London.

GEORGE HENRY HARLOW 
English Painter, 1787-1819 


PORTRAIT OF LADY CAMDEN. 


This example of the talented portraitist, for a time assistant of Sir 
Thomas Lawrence, with whom he later quarrelled, shows the beautiful 
young woman at half length, dressed in a rose-colored gown, with a scarf 
floating behind her; her brown hair is dressed high in a loose coil and is 


interwoven with a white ribbon. A glimpse of the sea at sunset forms the 
background.

This long curving stretch of the Grand Canal shows the white marble 
facade of a church at the right, and a dome and Greek portico of another 
at the left. In the foreground a number of gondolas with figures are seen 
passing, while a blue sky arches overhead. Canaletto occupied himself 
in producing views of Venice exclusively, which for their truth and their 
extraordinary effect and perspective met with immense success and are 
still highly esteemed. The figures in his pictures were invariably added 
by Tiepolo. 

Canvas. Height, 24 inches; width, 38 inches. 

Formerly in the Collection of Cardinal Spada.

JOHN HOPPNER 
English Painter, 1759-1810 


PORTRAIT OF A LADY. 


¢ A young woman is seen at half length, wearing an Empire dress of 
. white, low in the neck, with a brooch in the corsage. Across the right 
_ shoulder falls a yellow scarf trimmed with fringe. Her brown hair is 
E _ arranged in a braid across the top of her head, from which short curls escape 
_ about her brows. A low-toned landscape fills the background. 


At thirty years of age, Hoppner was court painter to the Prince of 
Wales, and devoting himself to portraits, soon became the rival of Lawrence. 
He exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy where, until 1797, the rule 
was in vogue that none but royalties could be designated by name, others 
being simply entitled “ Portrait of a Lady” or “ Portrait of a Gentleman,” 
making identification difficult. He was most successful in his portraits 
of ladies and children. 

Canvas. Height, 30 inches; width, 25 inches.

MARIE LOUISE ELIZABETH VIGEE LEBRUN

| ite stock and shirt-front; the coat is trimmed with a braid across the 
sleeve, and has large ornamental buttons. His long, curling hair frames 
his youthful face, falling to his shoulders, and the brown eyes look directly 
ing the spectator. 

This popular painter was the intimate friend of Marie Antoinette, 
Fen she painted repeatedly from life; many other distinguished people 
throughout Europe also sat to her.

trimmed with striped ribbon bows and bands of fur crossing the shoulders 
and reaching to the waist, the sleeves with frills of lace; her hands are held 
in a muff; a narrow ribbon about her neck holds a gold pendant, and her 
powdered hair is dressed in elaborate puffs and studded with ornaments.

Louis XV, who painted many of the famous men and women of his time. 

Canvas. Height, 32 inches; width, 25 inches.

English Painter, 1761-1807 
PORTRAIT OF LADY FORTESCUE 


The canvas shows a young woman seen in front view, wearing a red 
dress and white fichu across her shoulders, her blond hair falling about 
her neck. It shows the florid color which characterized the popular work 
of this fashionable portrait painter as well as his vigor and truth.

and several other figures. In the blue sky above, a single star forms a 
circle of light, its rays falling on the infant form below. Bonifazio was a 
follower, if not a pupil of Palma Vecchio, and was also much influenced by 
Giorgione and Titian, and several of his works are so remarkable for their 
beauty of color that they long passed under the names of those artists.

Watteau and Boucher, he attained celebrity as a painter of rustic scenes 
and Fétes Galantes, and was attached to the Royal Manufactures of Tap- 
estry of Gobelins and Beauvais. He was appointed court painter in 1794.

ITALIAN LANDSCAPE 


From the elevated foreground a group of stone pines rises at the left 
of the picture, beneath which a number of figures are gathered, and at the 
right rises a mass of ruined masonry; in the middle distance a lake lies in 
the valley, on the farther shore of which is a building and on the horizon a 
ridge of hills beneath a warm summer sky. In composition, color and 
aerial perspective he was unsurpassed; qualities which he won from his

the lace wrist ruffles and knotted lace scarf at his neck give a degree of 
elegance to his dress. The face is seen in nearly full view, his eyes directed

FRANCESCO ZUCCARELLI 
Italian Painter, 1702-1788 


ENGLISH LANDSCAPE. 


The picture presents one of those decorative landscapes with small 
figures, on which the renown of the artist rests. Beyond a clump of noble 
trees which rise at the right, is seen a stately house toward which a coach, 
drawn by six horses, approaches, followed by horsemen. Their advance 
has frightened some deer which are seen scampering across the foreground.

residence and where he won great popularity.
